SignSol, that's a good idea. But since all computers in my shop are networked, what harm would there be in saving it as a 2.6. Then, if that particular file needs to be run on alternate equipment from our other design station, why not then and only then, save it down? Or, once it's saved down...

Ok, but are you saying that files thus created MUST be saved down to 2.1? That 2.6 files cannot be opened by 2.1? (unless saved down)? Island, couldn't be sure with your "yep", if you were agreeing to earlier posts regarding the better features, or if you were saying the files could be opened...

Do files saved in Omega 2.6 open and cut/print ok with earlier versions of Omega such as 2.1. We're contemplating purchasing only one upgrade to 2.6. But the files then created need to be cuttable and printable from a design station that only has 2.1 loaded. Anyone know for sure?

Oh...and Marlene. Can you tell me what the single most significant feature is in Omega 2.6? For your shop?

Ok, thanks. That helps put this in perspective.

Well, well, well. I responded to an advertisement sent to me via email from Gerber informing me of the release of Omega 2.6. I asked a question about the product. This was Nov. 7, 9:36am. I said I was interested, but needed some clarification. Today the 12th I get notice back that they "have...

Oh...and by the way. We're still running 2.1 on two design computers and one demo version at the front counter. I emailed Gerber Customer Support with a question about 2.6 yesterday. We'll see if they bother to answer this potential client. (yes, I'm thinking of upgrading) Might as well spend...

I just got an email yesterday from GSP and I thought it said they were offering 2.6 for free to 2.5 users. You should always check with them before making a deal with their reps. My opinion.

There may be something not quite right with the printer. An .eps file at 150 dpi should produce a nice solid color. Even and consistent. You should not see dots.

Are you exporting raster images as .eps files? Or are they simple vector images? We export vector files to VersaWorks all day long, everyday as .eps files. We usually export raster files as .tif images, unless they have a cutline on them and then they have to go as .eps files.

Ac?

Rep, your comments make sense, the part about having a "softkey" or internet access key. I don't think I'd be interested in that either for the reasons mentioned above. And as far as upgrading, maybe there's a limit to a "draw" program's "usefulness". I mean, once it's capable of certain...

How will that help SW companies invest in upgrading their stuff? Please explain.

Rep, you might think that way, but it's not so. The 3-4 thou only bought you a license to use the software. You don't own anything more than the disk itself, the tutorial, and the box it came in. Oh..and the dongle. Others: Flexi doesn't sell as many copies of their sign-specific software as...

I guess I could scan our "user's manual". It's only 118 pages. Unless you mean something else. All we got with ours was the "set-up guide" and the "user's manual". Refer to the manual fairly often.

Welcome to the forum. Our shop shares the same business name as yours.

You'll want to save the box somewhere.

Yup, that was it. Gradients aren't handled well by Omega's export filter, I guess. Thanks Fred.

Also, related issue. As I mentioned, I like to layout in Omega. But if I can't export as an .ai file, (for whatever reason) then I must export as .tif or .bmp both of which shift the colors. The background white is not white but rather comes into PS as 6-3-4-1 CMYK model. Still another...

I use the one at the top. But there is gradient on a couple of shapes, could that be it? BTW, this is the very file you helped me with, Fred.
